question about pain

[Guest guest]

Barbara,

Here's a repost of Ankle Injury pain from Biomechanics Magazine 2006

Not sure if this is helpful or not. I wonder if his neck pain may be

due to stress of having injured the ankle, or even because our nerves

are all connected, could this be causing the neck pain. Has he tried

putting cold packs on his neck, is he going to PT for it, or for the

ankle pain? What about using any anti-inflammatory medications, or

better still Arnica Gel, on both the ankle and neck. (Arnica tablets

work well on injuries from the inside too) I used all this when I

sprained my ankle; my PT was just right back in the pool - mostly for

my ankle, I was on the rocker board. But no, I didn't have neck pain with the

sprained ankle.
